The second generation has become very popular, and also this crossover on the hood has a propeller. In addition, premium and luxury SUVs of this type are among the most popular on the secondary market in Russia. And this, not taking into account the high cost of this car. Drivers are very often satisfied with the high quality of the car, but the price of maintaining the model can be very high, at an unjustified level.
After the first generation, the developers decided to build on the success of this car. They made it comfortable, visually beautiful and versatile. Various experiments were only in store for this model. Elements of a passenger car were first grafted in this model or gasoline BMW X5 E70 3.0 became used much more economically, and the dynamics increased to the level of sports vehicles. The car was great for all versts of the population. But the cost of maintenance very much affected the impressions of this excellent series.
Engine
Gasoline 3-liter turned BMW X5 E70 3.0d 3.0 liter engine was assembled before the end of 2008. Drivers complained about excessive knocking of hydraulic compensators and the fact that the revs float on cold. In this case, the cylinder head had to be changed, but in order to save money, the hydraulic compensators could also be changed. Even with all this, the knock eventually reappears and does not go anywhere with the ends.
Atmospheric engine with 3 liters can sometimes require replacement of the vent valve for the crankcase gases, which is built into the valve cover. This is a very common problem. The ducts that serve to vent the gases often get clogged and can freeze up in the winter and squeeze out the BMW X5 E70 4.8 oil. Mobil 5w50 or Liqui Molly 5w30 can be used. This problem has not been corrected since the time of its predecessors. The defect was only slightly disguised and delayed, but they could not completely remove it. But now the shelf life of HVAC has increased to 50-60 thousand kilometers. The price of a new required cover is now almost 20 thousand rubles at dealers and about 4 thousand rubles in parts stores. The gas distribution system after 100 thousand kilometers can sometimes be annoying. When the valves begin to wedge in the system, the engine stalls at startup. In addition, oil and gasoline consumption can increase. The cost of repair of this segment is equal to about 14 thousand rubles. Reviews BMW X5 E70 4.8 give buyers the opportunity to make a choice in favor of this auto.
The 35i motor is sometimes installed on these autos, in them most often there is a problem with the replacement of the ECU. The block will cost about 100 thousand rubles, which will hit the owner’s wallet hard.
4.8i is an atmospheric power unit and differs in that there is reliability and durability. After 100 thousand kilometers, there is a danger of increased oil consumption due to the fact that the caps of a removable nature freeze. The crankshaft oil seals also sometimes leak by the time the same mileage is reached.
The 50i biturbo gets loads of heat after the turbochargers start interfering with the block camber. A lot of people ask what kind of oil is in the BMW X5 E70. Oil goes on average in the amount of 1 to 2 liters per thousand kilometers, but only after 60 thousand kilometers. There are deformations on the cylinder, turbines wear out and chase oil. Other engines, however, have oil and motor cooling with a huge radiator.
Diesel motors 3.0si BMW X5 ii E70 BMW X5 ii E70 require changing the filter no more often than once every 40 thousand kilometers. An analog will cost 900, and a new filter will cost 1600 rubles. The filter with soot can last even more than 120 thousand kilometers. A new one will cost again 100 thousand kilometers. The correct thing to do in this case will be to cut out the old filter and re-flash the ECU. Proper installation of the air filter may require professional intervention. In the case of a simple insertion of the filter, you can get a breakage of the base and air into the power unit. The resource in this case will decrease exponentially. Frosts, however, will lead to a slow start of the engine, usually this occurs due to the rapid deterioration of the battery of the accumulator. Reviews of owners about the engine show that motorists are generally satisfied with this apparatus.
3.0d which motor can cause the turbine valve from the vacuum to fail. The oil in the BMW X5 E70 3.0d is used normally. SDs are characterized by worse performance of the pressure substitute. The 35d with diesel also shows a third-party occurrence of sounds, which is caused by a roller or belt. This problem can only appear in the 2500 to 3000 rpm area with normal acceleration. The sound doesn’t turn into anything and doesn’t indicate a breakdown, it just can be unpleasant for drivers and passengers. The technical specifications of the BMW X5 E70 3.0d are no different from its predecessors.
The bolt on roller often jerks and breaks in the timing belt. But this malfunction occurs more often on autos with production in 2008 or 2009. After 100 thousand mileage, the radiator abundantly leaks, and its replacement will cost about 8000 rubles. The electric pump is best to change after 120 thousand kilometers. In stores, the part can be purchased for 8000, but at dealers the spare part reaches a price of 30000 rubles. The weak points of the BMW X5 E70 3.0d lie in its drive belt. The pallet of the unit is quite often cracked, it is a frequent sore part. The moment with tightening the drain bolt may not be observed and start late, which becomes the cause of breakage. Replacement of the pallet will cost about 18 thousand, and the part itself – about 25 thousand rubles.
Interior
The interior of the BMW X5 E70 squeaks very often, which is strange because this problem seems quite solvable. Plastic elements need to be glued with materials that will absorb vibrations and noises. Insulated tape will be needed to wrap the rear hinge of the seats or the trunk lid. The trunk shelf can also provide discomfort due to foreign sounds. The air outlets are weak, with modifications added to the gearbox, they sometimes crack the leads when the interior warms up unexpectedly over a long period of time.
In older models, the decorative inserts mimic wood, but the lacquered finish on them can often crack. The climate control has weak buttons with erasable drawings, the same problem is observed on the buttons for turning on the ventilation treatment of the seats. The spokes of the steering wheel have a rubber layer, it sometimes rubs off. The lid on the glove box loses its top lining due to sassing, which prevents it from opening.
Electronics
For taillights, you need to use preventive maintenance because often the gaskets can leak. And this problem can cause oxidation and even corrosion of electrical contracts on the full board. A new flashlight will cost about 4 thousand rubles. Front optical lights are also not ideal, on them glass can crack. Moisture will get through the gaps into the kindling blocks. The reflector itself tends to get cloudy and burn out with frequent use.
The handbrake unit can also receive program faults. Parking brake in such a problem is mandatory, which greatly affects further operation. Not a new block will have a price close to 10 thousand rubles, for repair the driver will give about 8 thousand rubles more. At dealers, the full range of works will be from 30 to 35 thousand rubles. CIC BMW X5 E70 BMW X5 E70 requires a rather long replacement.
Heating on the seats sometimes leads to a short circuit, and the lining on the driver’s seat cushion is often cauterized.
The climate control setup very rarely glitches. The system only starts working after the terminal is completely reset. The plastic baffle changes in size and the small filter housing is also deformed. After these changes, moisture enters the flap drive contacts. Further, there is already a gradual oxidation of the contacts, and control of the flaps is lost. If the user cleans the contacts in time, the drive will quickly return to its former level. At dealers, replacement of the drive costs around 3-4 thousand rubles.
The battery has a strong influence on the serviceability of the electronics. Sometimes, with frequent consumption, even a few uses are enough to completely discharge the battery. With frost, bad consequences will not wait long. The newest AKB at dealers will cost up to 25 thousand rubles, and in stores you can find a part with a price of up to 8 thousand rubles. The propiska for the new battery is very important for the purposes of stable charging. The cost of propiska at dealers is now in the region of 4 thousand rubles, and other services offer services for 1000 rubles.
Features
Let’s take a closer look at the technical specifications of the BMW X5 E70. SUV with 5 doors and adjustable number of seats began to be produced in BMW X5 E70 2007 and was produced until 2010. The engine has 235 horsepower at 4000 rpm, but the torque here is 520 N*m at 2750 rpm. Turbocharging is used and the engine is arranged longitudinally at the front. The cylinders are arranged in the form of L6, which helps direct injection to work properly and accurately. The overhead valves have two camshafts and there are 4 valves per cylinder. All-wheel permanent drive is always active and the transmission is automatic and has 6 speeds. The front suspension has a double wishbone that is transverse, and it itself is independent. The rear, on the other hand, has many arms and a stabilizer bar for stability across with a coil spring. Both front and rear brakes are ventilated disc brakes. Up to 100 kilometers per hour, the car accelerates in 8.3 seconds, and the maximum can squeeze up to 210 kilometers per hour.
With mechanics in urban conditions, the fuel consumption of BMW X5 E70 will be 11.3 liters per 100 kilometers, in mixed territory this figure will decrease to 8.7, and on the highway it will fall to 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers. The length of the car is 4.854 meters, its width is 1.933 meters, and height is 1.776 meters. The ground clearance is equal to 212 millimeters. The wheelbase is 2.933 meters, the front track is 1.644 meters, and the rear wheelbase is 1.65 meters. The main weight of the equipment is considered to be 2,180 kilograms. The trunk holds 620 liters, and when the rear seats are folded, it transforms to 1750 liters. The fuel tank holds 85 liters.
Options
One might think that the design has not changed at all after the previous models, but this is not the case at all. Engines of course remained, all-wheel drive also did not go anywhere, and the layout and power is difficult to distinguish in the new model.
But some configurations do show changes in the area of interior and bodywork. The car has increased in size and has a new modern design with almost full third row of seats. The developers have put a lot of effort to improve the handling and the new turbocharged engines. The handling can be called one of the best in this class, and it’s even better in the current configuration. The size of rims and tires has not changed much either.
The center of gravity has become much higher, and the weight has not affected the main parameters. Suspension is sometimes called a little stiff, and rolls are caught at frequent driving, but these problems can not overshadow a good idea of the car. The main qualities of the SUV are a little lost in the new configuration, but the ground clearance remains unchanged. Nevertheless, there are a lot of aerodynamic elements on the bottom, which on off-road will have a very bad effect on the condition of the car. The drive clutch on the front axle is often blocked, but the car often gets stuck. All this happens because of tires with 18 or 19 inches, which are better to use on asphalt surfaces. Chip tuning of the BMW X5 E70 is carried out quite often.
The comfort package, on the other hand, shows excellent build quality, as well as a new multimedia system with iDrive. It is perfectly integrated into the chassis. Universally the auto should not be discounted either. 7 people or large loads will easily fit in the vehicle. Prestige, comfort and speed at the same time will not be violated, which helps some customers lean toward choosing this model.
In 2010, a new package came out with fresh turbocharged motors. And in 2011, for gasoline engines integrated into the automatic transmission BMW X5 E70 3.0d with 8 steps. The motor with 3 liters almost showed the previous powertrain results. The flexibility of the engines, however, improved a lot and the dynamics in intervals and unstable situations were at the highest level.
Appearance
The windows can often get streaks, and the murkiness of the trim will not play into the hands of drivers, because the visibility will be impaired. Modern bezels are sold as a set and cost about 70 thousand rubles. And even on these elements can quickly appear divorces and points.
For the headlight washer, a cover is used, which falls off at high speed. Winter frosts lead to extrusion of the washer nozzle outside the bumper. And it is already quite difficult for it to return to the initial position. The cover without paint costs about 900 rubles, a set of nozzles and covers have a cost of 2 thousand rubles. Dimensions of BMW X5 E70 from this do not change.
Panoramic windows can break, the mechanism for the movement of such windows can jam at the most inopportune moment. Panorama and windshields should be constantly examined by the driver to prevent clogged drains and the appearance of water in the cabin. The ECU unit can also get water if, the drain under the brake cylinder is also clogged. All this without proper inspection will lead to a large cost of about 100 thousand rubles. In the rear glass washer dries the trunk line and spoils its flexibility. In case of frost on the center console, the pipes can collapse. The left rear wing and the driver’s seat are also subject to a similar danger. It is more common and practical to replace the trunking with cheap analogs.
Difference between restyling and prerestyling
At the very beginning, the car had several gasoline engines. They included an in-line “six” 272 N52 conventional oil volume, V8 N62 with 355 horsepower, in-line diesel with 16 cylinders M57 with 235 and 286 horsepower. In BMW X5 E70 2008 BMW X5 E70 diesel with 286 horsepower, and in 2009 modification with 265 horsepower.
April 2010 BMW X5 E70 led to restyling, and gasoline atmospheric engines were replaced by turbocharged engines. The restyling of the BMW X5 ii E70 revealed several new engines to the world. Among them are N55 with 3 liters and 306 horsepower, V8 T63 50i 4.4 at 407 hp. Diesel powertrains were replaced by the N57 with 3 liters and 245 horsepower, the regular 30d with 265 horsepower, 40d with 3 liters, 2 turbos and 306 horsepower. And in 2011, there was also the M50d, which had 281 horsepower of power.
In 2012 and 2013 there were no special changes in this segment, only a couple of units with 211 hp were released. There is also a new 4.8 atmospheric 355 hp without a turbo, fuel consumption in it will be a little more. Engine BMW X5 E70 4.8 has many advantages over other competitors.
